Can we talk? Like, seriously. Because I’m losing brain cells every time I scroll and see what couples are doing on YouTube these days. Forget Netflix, forget HBO—apparently the new reality TV is your bedroom, your pregnancy, your razor, and God knows what else.
Since when did marriage mean: “And now, with this ring, I thee wed, plus a tripod, a ring light, and 4K resolution for all of TikTok to see”?
Like, hello?! Did I miss the part in the vows that says “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in viral content”? Because at this point, couples aren’t building families—they’re building audiences.
👀 Exhibit A: Nika Diwa.
Yes, I’m saying the name, don’t clutch your pearls. This woman went viral with her Nigerian husband for posting… wait for it… a video of him shaving her while she was pregnant.
Let me repeat that: the sacred, private, intimate moment of a husband helping his wife? Beautiful. Gorgeous. That’s the stuff of true love. But why on God’s Wi-Fi would you film it? Why do I, a random stranger eating noodles in my pajamas, need to know about your bikini line?
And the comments? A war zone. Half the people defending it like, “awww, goals 💕” and the other half screaming, “what in the name of clout-chasing is this?!” Honestly, both camps need therapy.
👶🏽 Exhibit B: Laro Benz&Sachi
Another famous couple decided that childbirth needed to be livestreamed like it was a UFC fight. Baby crowning, contractions, amniotic fluid—you name it, it’s there. A Whole video clip on how a human delivers out a human.😬
Excuse me? Children as young as 12 are on YouTube. They’re supposed to be watching slime tutorials and Minecraft hacks, but instead, they’re learning where babies come from in IMAX HD. 🤦🏽♀️
And we’re supposed to clap for this? No. No, ma’am.
👙 Exhibit C: “Get Ready With Me” oversharing.
Ladies, please. I love a good GRWM as much as the next girl. But why are half of y’all switching on the camera in nothing but a bikini or a bra, acting like it’s Fashion Nova behind the scenes?
You know there’s a crop button, right? You know you can start filming after you’ve put clothes on, right? Or at least edit it so we’re not staring at your underwear drawer while you talk about mascara. Like, come on.
⚡ Here’s the bigger problem:
This isn’t just “harmless fun.” It’s the slow death of privacy, boundaries, and dignity.
Marriage becomes content.
Kids become props.
Intimacy becomes a marketing strategy.
Secrets become clickbait.
And you know what? That clout, those views, those coins—they’re temporary. But the internet? The internet is forever. Your child will grow up and find that video you thought was “cute.” Your intimacy, your secrets—they don’t disappear when the views stop rolling in.
💥 The punchline?
Couples, stop treating your homes like movie sets. Stop turning sacred moments into circus acts. Stop confusing love with clout. Because at this point, the internet doesn’t need another childbirth vlog or shaving clip.
We need therapy.
So let me ask you: why are couples so desperate for strangers’ approval that they’d sell their dignity to the algorithm?
Let’s talk about it. 👇🏽
